Iqela elivela kwiZiko loPhando laseLangley leNASA kunye namahlakani asuka kwiZiko loPhando le-NASA le-Ames, iNano Avionics, kunye neLebhu yeeNkqubo zeRobhothi yeYunivesithi yaseSanta Clara baphuhlisa uthumo lweNkqubo ePhakamileyo yeSolar Sail System (ACS3).I-boom ye-composite edibeneyo enokuhanjiswa kunye nenkqubo yeseyile yelanga, oko kukuthi, okokuqala ngqa i-boom edibeneyo isetyenziselwa iiseyile zelanga kumzila.
Inkqubo inikwe amandla amandla elanga kwaye ingathatha indawo ye-rocket propellants kunye neenkqubo zokuqhubela umbane.Ukuxhomekeka ekukhanyeni kwelanga kunika iinketho ezinokuthi zingenzeki kuyilo lweziphekepheke.
I-composite boom isetyenziswe yi-12-unit (12U) CubeSat, i-nano-satellite enexabiso eliphantsi elilinganisa kuphela i-23 cm x 34 cm.Xa kuthelekiswa ne-boom yesiqhelo yentsimbi, i-ACS3 boom i-75% ikhaphukhaphu, kwaye i-thermal deformation xa ishushu iyancitshiswa ngamaxesha angama-100.
Xa sele isemajukujukwini, iCubeSat iya kukhawuleza ifake i-solar array kwaye ifake i-composite boom, ethatha kuphela imizuzu engama-20 ukuya kwengama-30.Iseyile yesikwere yenziwe ngezinto eziguquguqukayo zepolymer eziqiniswe nge-carbon fiber kwaye zimalunga neemitha ezili-9 ubude kwicala ngalinye.Esi sixhobo sihlanganisiweyo silungele imisebenzi kuba sinokusongwa ukuze sigcinwe sikwi-compact, kodwa sigcina amandla kwaye sixhathise ukugoba kunye ne-warping xa sibonakaliswe kutshintsho lobushushu.Ikhamera ekwibhodi iya kurekhoda imilo kunye nokulungelelaniswa kweseyile esetyenzisiweyo ukuze ihlolwe.
Itekhnoloji ephuhliselwe i-composite boom yemishini ye-ACS3 inokwandiswa ukuya kwimishini yesolar yekamva ye-500 square metres, kwaye abaphandi basebenzela ukuphuhlisa iiseyile zesola ezinkulu njenge-2,000 square metres.
Iinjongo zemishini ziquka ukudibanisa ngempumelelo iiseyile kunye nokuthunyelwa kwee-booms ezidibeneyo kwi-orbit ephantsi ukuvavanya ukumila kunye noyilo olusebenzayo lweeseyile, kunye nokuqokelela idatha malunga nokusebenza kweeseyile ukubonelela ngolwazi lokuphuhliswa kweenkqubo ezinkulu zexesha elizayo.
Oosonzululwazi banethemba lokuqokelela idatha esuka kwimishini ye-ACS3 ukuyila iinkqubo zexesha elizayo ezinokuthi zisetyenziselwe unxibelelwano kwimishini yokuhlola, imozulu yasemkhathini kwangethuba, kunye nemishini yokuhlola i-asteroid.
